"we fed him a good f--ken’ six f--ken’ serves underneath that door once a f--ken’ day man,”


Man pleads guilty to endangering life of four-year-old son at yet another Adelaide ‘house of horrors’

A FOUR-year-old boy weighing just 8.3kg was kept in his squalid bedroom for 12 days while the father shoved food under the door once a day, a court has heard.

The man, 27, today admitted endangering the boy’s life while the boy’s mother, 23, has denied charges of criminal neglect and endangering life. She will face court later.

Police officers arrested the pair after they were called to a house at Gilles Plains, in Adelaide’s northern suburbs, last October following a complaint of domestic violence.

They found the malnourished four-year-old boy among filthy conditions later described by SA Police Commissioner Gary Burns as a “very disturbing and distressing scene”.

Soiled nappies could be seen piling up in a bedroom, while dozens of energy drink cans and vodka bottles were strewn about. A pervasive stench officers described as “overpowering and putrid” could be smelled from the front yard.

What about that kid in India?

Or the one in Serbia?

Maybe the OP can explain what he's trying to do.
